A new study on the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, produced by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University shows that the health care law penalizes Americans who work full-time, will reduce the number of full-time workers, and rewards those who work less.
“The ACA’s employment taxes create strong incentives to work less,” the study, The Affordable Care Act and the New Economics of Part-Time Work, states. “The health subsidies’ structure will put millions in a position in which working part-time (29 hours or fewer, as defined by the ACA) will yield more disposable income than working their normal full-time schedule.”
The study’s introduction states: “Starting this year, the United States’ working population will face three major employment disincentives resulting from the very benefits the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides: (1) an explicit tax on full-time work, (2) an implicit tax on full-time work for those who are ineligible for the ACA’s health insurance subsidies, and (3) an implicit tax that links the amount of available subsidies to workers’ incomes.” …

For about a century now, they’ve both pushed the Marxist agenda under the pseudonym “progressivism” and by the means of Fabianism (slowed-down Marxism). The closer we get to endgame, the more tyrannical the one-party rule gets.
Until that is done, no amount of tinkering with insurance or other scams will accomplish anything.
Just like any other welfare program. Start calling it what it is....a welfare program.
I did the same, but you still money.
The cool thing is that where we live the annual property taxes on our 20 acre parcel is the price of a loaded pizza with a beer.
